Restless Studio Full Perm Wikimedia Textures

Restless Studio provides several packages of full perm textures gleaned from Wikimedia. These textures have been cropped, scaled, and digitally modified for tiling. All are freely licensed for reuse, redistribution, and resale under one of the Creative Commons licenses. This means that Second Life residents can use them in their builds, modify them (with appropriate re-licensing), copy them, transfer them to others (again, with appropriate licensing), and even resell them.

Why buy these textures when they are freely downloadable at Wikimedia ? Well, you are certainly welcome to search through Wikimedia and download the upload at 10L per texture but the time and money you spend doing this yourself will far exceed the moderate price of the already prepared packages. In addition, most texture packs provided by Restless Studio are modified to allow seamless tiling of textures. This and many other questions are addressed in the Wikimedia Commons Product FAQ.

• Flowers - 45 full perm textures, 90L

My Favorite Hair

I'm very picky about hair in Second Life. Maybe my head is too big or not round or something but most hair doesn't look right on me. Plus I hate resizing hair. So, I only have a few hairs I like to wear. Here are my favorites.

My absolute favorite hair is from Laq:

 Calico Ingmann makes a number of moderately priced nice hairs:

 sWEET Hair is consistently awesome:

 LALA Moon offers some really fantastic creations:

 I like the hair from Anaphora that includes this floppy hat:

 The hippie in me loves this hair from Nikita Fride:

Don't forget to delete the scripts in your hair after making a backup copy and resizing/positioning/configuring as hair can often have many laq inducing scripts.

RL/SL DJ Nico Flux

The other night just by chance a friend teleported me to a dance party with cool psychedelic art and fantastic music. I met and befriended the DJ, Nico Flux. There are so many great DJ's in Second Life. I really think that aspect of our virtual lives is underrated and somewhat overlooked. I mean, c'mon, how often in RL do you go to a club, find great music there, meet the DJ and then get to follow him or her for every gig ? It's cool.

Anyway, I took a few snapshots and wanted to share them with you. You can get an idea of the kind of music Nico plays by listening to this Soundcloud mix he uploaded. Ummm, also, maybe he is a vampire. I really don't know or care - the music he plays is awesome.
